The importance of feedback for your restaurant
Asking for Customer Feedback
In order to build a solid customer database and have a clear image of your business's strengths and weaknesses, you will need as much feedback as possible. It has been found that 77% of customers are more likely to put their trust in brands that solicit and act on customer input. It is therefore important to provide clients with various feedback options in order to ensure that they receive a response. Surveys are particularly effective, on the other hand, live chats, call centers, social listening, and direct email marketing can also be effective to reach out to a large number of customers based on their preferences.
Analysing and Categorising Feedback
Restaurants should sort feedback into three categories: product (food/drink), customer service, and marketing/sales. This will help you identify your areas of success or failure and determine the next steps in an easier and faster way. Subdividing these categories into positive, negative, and neutral responses can be helpful in identifying specific areas that might need immediate attention.
Implementing Changes Based on Feedback
Restaurants should carefully analyse the strengths and weaknesses identified in their customer's feedback, and make any necessary changes to their operations as quickly as possible. Feedback can provide crucial insight into how to keep restaurants up-to date with the trends and provide the best possible service. Sharing the feedback comments to workers on a managerial level can help ensure smooth transitions within the restaurant's operations or menu adjustments.
Following up with Customers Who Shared Feedback
It has been found that 77% of customers are willing to provide feedback as long as they receive a quick response. Therefore, it is advised that restaurants provide their customers with a response so that they know they have been heard. Thank your customers for taking the time to provide your establishment with their feedback in a personal and sincere way. It is also important to let them know that their comments form an integral part of improving service and business performance.
Measure Customer Satisfaction
Customer happiness and corporate performance have a significant relationship. Feedback allows you to gauge your customers' satisfaction after their visit to your restaurant. Customer ratings are a simple way to assess customer satisfaction and current business performance.
